Modern is a constructed format that allows expansion sets and core sets from Eighth Edition forward, save for the Modern ban list.[1] The modern format thus encompasses all cards that have been printed in a core or expansion set using the modern card frame (plus some others from Time Spiral).

Description

The format was introduced as a non-sanctioned Magic Online format in May, 19, 2011. And subsequently officially codified on August 12, 2011, when the format of Pro Tour Philadelphia was changed from Extended to Modern.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. Like other constructed formats, a sideboard of at most of fifteen cards can be used.

With the exception of basic lands (land cards that have the "basic" supertype) and cards like Relentless Rats, a player's combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.[8]

Set legality

Cards from all regular core sets and expansions since Eighth Edition are legal.[8]

This includes timeshifted cards (even if printed in the older frame).

Banned List

As of April 4, 2016 the following cards are banned in Modern tournaments:[8][9]
